----------

Jumping from the warship, the two people slowly descended.

Behind them, the white cloak of justice fluttered in the strong wind.

"That...is Marine?!!"

"Hey, hey! I'm not dreaming, am I? How could Marine react so quickly?"

"Damn! It's that guy Hakuryu, he has the ability to fly!"

The pirates of the Charlotte family were both frightened and angry, looking up towards the sky.

"Huh? It seems a little different from what I imagined."

Atlas observed the two distinct groups of pirates below. Although they looked a bit disheveled, they weren't seriously hurt.

Only a few unlucky ones lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.

Are these guys... playing a game of pirate house?

"Although it's a bit unexpected, now that you're here, you must leave something behind!"

Akainu quickly assessed the situation and then focused on the rampaging Linlin.

"Is this what's called Eating Disorder?"

As Marine's top combat power, he naturally knew some information about Big Mom.

This kind of madness that completely loses one's own will might be the flaw in Charlotte Linlin's monstrous talent.

"Yes, but I can't tell what she lost during the last battle, except for her ability..."

Akainu's heart moved and he said: "How do you know that she is no longer an devil fruit user? Could it be that you have..."

"Hahaha, I also made a guess."

Atlas laughed, trying to evade the topic.

It's really hard to explain the current situation. The talisman itself is something beyond the knowledge of the pirate world.

Seeing this, Akainu stopped probing further.

When he was weaker, the World Government didn't care about Atlas' secrets.

Now that he is stronger, even if they take him seriously, there is nothing they can do.

The main reason is that Atlas's growth rate is fast enough, and the previous talisman manifestations were relatively subtle.

Starting from the Dragon Talisman, the special effects became quite noticeable.

"How to divide it? Leave Big Mom to you? Or should we each watch one to death?"

Atlas asked with a smile, rubbing his chin.

Akainu thought for a moment and said coldly: "Destroy the Big Mom Pirates first."

The reason is simple. If two people act separately, they might fail and both sides will be unhappy.

Judging from the situation on the field, it is clear that the Red Hair Pirates' strength is relatively intact and a tough nut to crack.

"Now that we've decided, let's... make a quick decision!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Atlas released the control of the Rooster Talisman on their bodies and quickly fell towards the island below.

"Boss, let's withdraw first? Marine's target seems to be only Big Mom."

"Yes, as long as word of this battle spreads, boss, you will definitely be the emperor of the sea."

The members of the Red Hair Pirates weren't foolish. When they saw Atlas and Akainu heading straight for the Big Mom Pirates, they immediately retreated.

Beckman, standing next to Shanks, remained silent, quietly observing his captain's increasingly serious face.

He was waiting for Shanks to make a decision.

Shanks' brows slowly relaxed, and he directly issued an order: "Prepare to stop Marine! We can't let them destroy the Big Mom Pirates."

"Why, Captain?"

"We should retreat at this time. Why should we help the Big Mom Pirates?"

The other crew members shouted at him.

"This is the captain's order..." Beckman's tone was low, and his dangerous eyes glared at the pirate who had just spoken out against him.

"Beckman." Shanks stopped him, grinning widely, "Because... we are pirates!"

"..."

The faces of the pirates froze, then they laughed wildly: "Yes! We are pirates, why should we be afraid of their Marines!"

On the other side, two strong bodies collided directly with Cacao Island, causing the earth to shake and the ground to crack.

Swish——! ! !

Before the dust settled, Atlas ejected directly and was in front of Linlin in an instant, meeting her eye to eye.

"Sister... where are you? Linlin misses you so much, wuwuwu——"

Linlin, oblivious, destroyed everything in front of her, venting her most primitive desire for destruction.

Bang!!!

Atlas wouldn't indulge her. Armament Haki covered his feet, and his normal-sized legs and feet instantly swelled, resembling the legendary 'Heavenly Canned Foot'.

The kick shot out directly, carrying terrifying wind pressure, which instantly struck Linlin's face.

Like a golden mountain collapsing, Linlin's entire body flew backwards, and everything in her path was destroyed.

"Mama!"

Katakuri was shocked, but had no time to react. The next second, a rolling heat wave hit his face, and a dog's head, entirely made of lava, lunged at him. Magma dripped, exposing the most primitive surface of Cacao Island.

Inugami Guren (Dog Biting Crimson Lotus)! ! !

"Cough--"

Katakuri coughed lightly, feeling the warmth in his chest. He took a strong breath and felt mochi surging under his feet.

Clang!!

At that moment, a figure stepped in, cold light cutting through the space, and a black blade pressed firmly between the interlaced canine teeth.

"If you want to fight, I can accompany you!"

Shanks said this as his long hair blew in the heat wave.

Katakuri looked at the man standing in front of him, a bit distracted, "Why do you want to help me?"

It was clearly hostile one second, but blocked a fatal blow the next. What does this man want?

Swish——! !

Shanks didn't answer Katakuri's doubts. He exerted a slight force, and Armament Haki flowed into the lava dog's head.

Boom--! !

Like thunder from the sky stirring up fire on the ground, the reaction formed a huge reactor, which then exploded.

Armament Haki internal destruction!

"Red-Haired Shanks?" Akainu followed behind Inugami Guren and rushed over with long strides, his face extremely gloomy.

If it hadn't been for this guy, the blow would have killed Katakuri on the spot.

As for arguments about achieving victory without force, Akainu didn't care. As long as the goal of killing pirates was achieved, the means or process didn't matter.

Boom——

A dull crash echoed, and a shadow suddenly appeared behind Shanks.

"Hey! Be careful behind you!"

Katakuri's urgent reminder sounded, and Shanks seemed to have expected it, pulling away the long sword in his hand to block.

"Too late!"

A cold voice echoed in his ears, and a huge fist punched out.

Air waves and sonic booms constantly hit the eardrums, and the stinging sensation came like a tide.

Boom--! ! !

Atlas unleashed his force, and the sword covered with Armament Haki suddenly bent, like a big bow stretched to its limit.

Boom——! !

After only a moment of stalemate, the terrifying power shattered the blade. The metal fragments in the sky turned into lethal projectiles, piercing towards Shanks along with the wind and waves.

Ding ding——

The sound of clashing metal resounded as Armament Haki covered his whole body for a moment, but then dissipated like a tide in the next second.

Bang——!

Breaking through the long sword's block, Atlas' domineering fist hit Shanks' face like a bull charging.

In an instant, several white molars stained with blood flew into the sky.

Shanks flew backwards instantly under the impact, his brain going blank for a moment.

"Meigo (Dark Hound)!"

Molten lava surged, and a scorching giant fist blasted towards Shanks, enough to burn him to ashes instantly while he was helpless to fight back.

However, black lightning began to crackle, and the terrifying momentum increased. Layers of air waves swept across, clearing the surroundings.

Shanks' body turned suddenly and he punched out.

Before the giant fist of lava could reach him, a terrifying power exploded in the middle, completely shattering the giant fist.

After sending Shanks flying, Atlas turned his dangerous gaze towards Katakuri, who was still standing.

"Now you."

He smiled solemnly and stepped on the ground dozens of times. Flames from the explosions rose, and the space gradually distorted.

The air rippled like water, and Atlas appeared silently in front of Katakuri.

The whole process seemed to occur outside of normal time and space, as if a large chunk of it had been cut out.

Atlas appeared so suddenly, and Katakuri's expression, demeanor, and movements seemed frozen in time.

Click——

Fine cracks appeared on Katakuri, spreading like a web from his face to his feet.

Whoosh--! !

The flow of time resumed, and the green light on Atlas' body flashed away, returning him to his previous appearance.

"How..."

Katakuri's demeanor returned to normal, but when he saw the towering figure in front of him, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Snap--! ! !

A huge footprint descended on Katakuri's head.

The clear lines on the sole grew larger in his eyes, but Katakuri couldn't move, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his entire body stiff and immobile.

Like a watermelon bursting, red and white brain matter splattered, and a tall headless corpse collapsed, creating a large human-shaped crater on the ground.

"——?!!!"

"Katakuri-nii-!"

"Hey, hey! Am I dreaming? Katakuri..."

Shock, disbelief, fear...

Various complex expressions appeared on the faces of the Charlotte family pirates, and confusion gradually crept into their hearts, finally taking hold of their minds.

"Tsk——!"

Atlas shook his head slowly, seeming to feel sorry for his former rival, and also relieved to have cut off another wing of the Big Mom Pirates.

The scene just now seemed simple, but it wasn't.

Atlas almost used several talismans to their ultimate level based on his original physique.

Although the Rabbit Talisman has power beyond the speed of light, it is a conceptual speed force.

But the energy required in that moment could drain Atlas dry!

Not only physical strength but also flesh, blood, marrow, and all the energy his body can use.

Just a moment of experiment almost caused him to fall apart. Even though he used the Horse Talisman to repair it, it still consumed a third of his physical strength.

And this wasn't even traveling through time and space!

To take the Rabbit Talisman to its limit, he might need the power of science, such as space-time particles.

Or maybe an immortal god like the Shentu who doesn't need to worry about energy at all.

"Ka-ta-ku-ri!"

Roaring into the sky, Conqueror's Haki trembled in the air. The sky suddenly darkened, and a huge black shadow rushed in at high speed, destroying all vegetation in its path.

Atlas' eyes narrowed slightly, murderous intent overflowing from the corners of his eyes, locking on Linlin who was flying towards him.

At this time, Charlotte Linlin's eyes were red, her sanity fluctuating between awake and unconscious, and her whole body exuded a world-destroying violence.

"Scary~"

Atlas pouted, mocking in Kizaru's tone.

Charlotte Linlin, already in a state of madness, suddenly went berserk. Her arms wrapped with Armament Haki, and her mountain-like body rolled towards Atlas.

Clang--! !

Atlas punched back, an explosion sounded from the center of the collision, and a circular wave of air spread out, sweeping around.

"Old woman! It seems that kick just now helped you regain some sense!"

He stared, noticing a bit of clarity in her red eyes.

But it didn't matter; he alone was enough to deal with Charlotte Linlin in this state.

Boom--! ! !

The fire flickered, and explosive power directed towards Linlin's massive body.

Like a ant throwing an elephant, Linlin's body was blown away with great ease.

If there was a ceiling to the strength of the pirate world, he estimated—

Kaido of the Beasts, Charlotte Linlin, and others are just touching the ceiling, while Rocks is above the ceiling.

The current Atlas is equivalent to Rocks' original state, or perhaps stronger!

Almost half a foot reached the ceiling.

As for Im, he is likely a strong person above the ceiling, probably with the help of the so-called Celestial Dragons' national treasure.

However, the ceiling above the ceiling, the combat power is not at the same level as theirs.

Boom——!

Riding Linlin as she flew backwards, Atlas's figure instantly surged, his whole body standing up like an iron tower. Armament Haki patterns outlined his form, his feet continuously triggering air explosions as he quickly approached Charlotte Linlin.

Clang--

Another collision, Linlin's arm was thrown aside, her adjusted center of gravity shifting again.

Bang——! !

Atlas took advantage of the situation, flipping over suddenly, and hit Linlin hard with a back elbow.

Armament Haki intertwined with Conqueror's Haki, frantically tearing apart the steel balloon's defense!!
